8. GanjaBy Chetanya KapoorGanja is an enthralling tale of a future that is trying to survive in the reflection of Armageddon. It’s a non-funny satire on the socio-economical structure of our country that still portrays the existing stigmas even in the face of death. Ganja is a rhetorical title with a larger question to be asked! You might not believe it cause of the mysterious approach it takes but it sure is a bold statement on water conversation.

While sitting, at a great distance she observes a water bottle hung up in a tree with a page attached to it ,when she comes closer to that tree she realizes that the paper mentioned “pour me “ and from there ,at some distance she observes that there is small well ,which is dried and not so deep but had some pipes connected to it . She was really disappointed and thought of giving up on her life unless she hears a sound of running water on the other side of well. She realizes of how she wasted water. That well was actually jammed from many years, once the water was filled in the pipes, they worked properly. With this ends the story on a happy note but leaves a strong message.

The short film also raises a bone chilling yet ignored question: Are we really humans if we have lost our humanity?

14.SadhanBy Muskan Singhal, Nuparth Choudhry, Shiny Nag, Shivam A. Pachauri, Riya Aggarwal, Samriddhi NegiWater is an entity that makes life on earth possible.
